Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Walderslade
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we’ll confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. Whether it is retirement send-offs and team away days, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Around Walderslade, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Questions from Walderslade
How far is Walderslade from London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Walderslade?
Chatham station, about 3.1 miles north of the centre.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you come onto our site?
That is up to your site, but a car park or yard is generally ideal.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A spot near your staff
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.

How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat.

- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
